Air France Boosts New York Flights

Air France is readying for a busy Northern Summer 2026 schedule between Paris and New York and will now offer expanded service.

Up to 11 daily flights will operate from Paris Charles de Gaulle to New York, split between JFK and Newark Liberty International Airport.

Air France Commits To Newark Liberty

As part of a response to growing demand across the transatlantic market, Air France plans to offer up to two daily flights from its hub, Paris Charles de Gaulle, during the peak summer season.

The schedule will be further strengthened on 1 June 2206, with the second daily flight joining, up from the previous one daily flight offered by the French flag carrier.

Air France will operate the second daily flight with its Airbus A350-900. This aircraft features the latest cabins, including new Business Class seats with sliding doors to enhance privacy for upper-class customers.

New York JFK Continues To Shine

Even with its double-daily service to Newark Liberty, the airline isn’t backing off from New York JFK, committing to up to 6 daily flights.

Four of the daily flights will be operated by the Boeing 777-300ER, complemented by three flights a day operated by Delta Air Lines, a key partner and part of a transatlantic joint venture that captures demand.

Aircraft operating to and from New York will also be gradually equipped with Air France’s complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi, where possible, via a third-party link.

This also marks Air France as the first major European airline to offer such a service on board its aircraft, and, under current forecasts, aims to have it throughout its fleet by year’s end.

Air France Also Announces Special Flights

In addition to its routine schedule between New York and Paris Charles de Gaulle, Air France will also operate special flights between New York JFK and Nice Côte d’Azur Airport for the Cannes Lions Festival.

These flights will operate on June 20 and June 21 as AF43, departing from New York JFK at 1630 and arriving in Nice the following day at 1035.

The two return flights operate as AF42 on June 25 and June 26, departing from Nice at 1200 and arriving at New York JFK at 1500 the same day, operated by the Boeing 777-300ER.
